Integrity, Honesty, and a very hard working Lawyer

I highly recommend Daniel Michael Schafer if you are looking for someone to represent you, if you are being hounded by credit card collectors and in need of someone to litigate, negotiate and defend you in court. I was being sued and hounded by two different collection attorneys and hired Mr. Schafer.... It was the best decision I ever made... period. I was always kept informed and updated as to what was going on in my two cases. He is very knowledgeable and very thorough in his examination of my cases and needless to say both cases ended up in my favor. Mr. Schafer went out of his way to take care of me in ways that were well outside of what he needed to do. I read a bad review that someone left him that had to do with a divorce.... I thought "what the hell?", he doesn't even provide services for divorce or family law! This person must have Mr. Schafer confused with someone else. He knows exactly what he's doing and I consider him to be a Lawyer who is at the top of his game. Without a doubt Mr. Schafer is someone you need in your corner!

A+++ for a hard working/trustworthy attorney

I have hired mr Schafer 3 times in the past 12 months to defend me against lawsuits filed by creditors. He has been nothing but helpful and trustworthy. He gave my cases individual and personal attention unlike other attorneys who may send paralegals to do their jobs. Although there are never guaran...teed results I have had nothing but success working with mr Schafer. I have recommended him to my mother as well as a friend. A+

Extremely trustworthy!

Mr. Schafer helped me every step of the way, he settled my case in less than a month and his attorney fees are very reasonable. He settled my debt for me and I never had to pay my creditor a dime. He is the best and I would recommend him to anyone who is being harassed by a collection agency. He is ...very thorough and efficient, and he will go above and beyond to take care of your legal needs. He works with his wife who also is very helpful and she is very friendly and they both make you feel like family. I have never had a better experience with an attorney. I contacted several attorneys before choosing attorney Schafer, he is the only one who gave me peace of mind.

Legal Services provided by Dr. Michael Schafer

Dr. Schafer represented me in two civil suits filed by debt collection agenchies. In both suits he provided professional and effective representation which resulted in dismissal in both cases. I would recommend Dr. Schafer to anyone in need of debt resolution services.

Strongly recommended

I had (unfortunately) co-signed for a medical credit card for a former friend. It turned out it was actually not used for any medical services, but the bill was over $5,000. I initially felt responsible, as I did co-sign. At the urging of a family member, I sued my former friend for fraud and won tha...t case. Later, a company that had purchased the debt came after me for the money that was owed. This affected my credit in quite a negative way. I was referred to Mr. Schafer through a true friend who had previously used his services. He won my case and I am no longer liable for any of the debt; and, any other company that may purchase the debt in the future can not seek payment from me...ever. I was so relieved. My credit has been restored as well. I am very appreciate he took the time for such a simple case. If I ever need an attorney for anything, I will contact him first. If he cannot help me, I trust he will recommend someone who can.
